Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include browser localStorage and sessionStorage, which websites and web applications use to store small pieces of information directly in your browser. We use a small number of these technologies, almost entirely for essential functionality.
We deliberately keep cookie and storage use to a minimum. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, and we do not use tracking cookies to build advertising profiles about you. We do not currently run third-party analytics cookies on the marketing website.
| Name / type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookie (if applicable, via hosting provider) | Basic site functionality and security, set by our hosting infrastructure | Session — deleted when you close your browser |
| Name / type | Platform | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
Authentication token (localStorage) | ProjectHindsight & ConditionIQ | Keeps you signed in. Strictly necessary — without it, you cannot use the platform. | Up to 24 hours, or until you log out |
| CSRF / security token | ProjectHindsight & ConditionIQ | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |
| UI preference storage (e.g. sidebar state, theme) | ProjectHindsight & ConditionIQ | Remembers your interface preferences between visits | Until cleared by you |
These are all strictly necessary for the platforms to function — they cannot be switched off without making the platform unusable, and under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), strictly necessary cookies do not require consent.
| Provider | Where used | What it sets |
|---|---|---|
| Mapbox | ConditionIQ asset condition map | May set cookies or local storage to deliver and cache map tiles. Mapbox's own privacy policy applies to this processing. |
| Stripe (when activated) | Billing and subscription pages | Stripe may set cookies necessary for fraud prevention and secure payment processing. Stripe's own privacy policy applies. |
Because we use only strictly necessary cookies and storage, there is no cookie consent banner on our website or platforms. You can still control or delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings at any time — please note that if you clear authentication storage while logged in, you will simply be logged out and need to sign in again. Disabling storage entirely will prevent the platforms from functioning.
For guidance on managing cookies in your browser, visit aboutcookies.org or your browser's help documentation.
We may update this Cookies Policy if the technologies we use change. Any updates will be reflected by a new "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
